Rotations

Question 2 • LA-Geometry A ? Distance Learning

Which rule represents R0, 180°?

Answer
A
(x, y) → (–y, x)
B
(x, y) → (–x, –y)
C
(x, y) → (y, –x)
D
(x, y) → (y, x)

Explanation

A 180° rotation about the origin sends each point to the point directly opposite it across the origin. This changes the signs of both coordinates: (x, y) → (–x, –y). Therefore, the rule is choice B.
